ISLAMABAD: PTI chief Imran Khan pleaded before the Supreme Court on Tuesday to withdraw its contempt notice against him and clarified that the word sharamnak (shameful) he had used in his July 26 press conference was never used in its literal sense or connotation but in the context of unbecoming.

But in his 21-page comprehensive reply he severely criticised Election Commission Member retired Justice Riaz Kiani who he said acted more as a representative of the PML-N which had nominated him for the post and described his role as most shocking.

Mr Khan will appear on Wednesday before a bench comprising Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali, Justice Khilji Arif Hussain and Justice Ijaz Ahmed Chaudhry that will resume the contempt proceedings against him.

He is facing the charge for his statement at a press conference in which he criticised the role of the judiciary and the ECP as shameful. He alleged that the general elections had been rigged due to the role played by the two institutions.

Mr Khan did not mention the words regrets, apology or remorse in his reply but requested the bench to consider his demeanour in the court and his past services to the cause of rule of law and independence of judiciary in his favour to conclude that he would neither commit contempt of court nor would ever scandalise the court or bring any judge into hatred, ridicule or contempt.

The reply mentions his disappointment and sadness over a June 8 meeting of the National Judicial Policymaking Committee, headed by the chief justice of Pakistan and attended by the chief justices of all the high courts that had expressed satisfaction over the performances of the district returning officers and returning officers in the elections.

It was indeed shocking to the PTI and its candidates because they felt that their cases have already been prejudged by the NJPMC, he said, adding that it appeared that the acts of the DROs and ROs had been condoned and they had been given a clean chit.

He said a large number of aggrieved PTI candidates had not filed election petitions because of disappointment arising out of the meeting.

Explaining further why he had vented his frustration at the press conference, the reply said the July 24 Supreme Court order of advancing the presidential election date to July 30 from Aug 6 after allowing a PML-N petition without any notice to the PTI.

Mr Khan said the unfair election process had resulted in the unfortunate exit of Chief Election Commissioner Fakhruddin G. Ebrahim.

VET: Deserved Press attention

The Coeur dAlene Press proudly states that they are the communitys most trusted source of news and information. If this is true, please explain to me why the Coeur dAlene Press did not print one single word on the killing of the 89-year-old World War II Veteran. This story was front page news. Not reporting this senseless murder is nothing short of incompetence on the part of The Press.

We live only miles from the scene of this murder and not to print the photographs to inform your readers of what these teens look like is criminal in itself. It is sad and disappointing that our local newspaper finds that an event going on at The Coeur dAlene Resort is front-page news and more newsworthy than the murder of a hero. Shame on you Coeur dAlene Press, this honorable Vet fought for our freedoms and deserved more. I thank him for his service to our country.

VET: Deserved Press attention

Arcticsid asked the Answer Line forum about turning text into a .jpg. I'll also explain converting an image back into text.

Double-click any word in this paragraph. Your browser will select the word, and you'll be able to copy and paste it into your word processor or email program. But try double-clicking a word in the picture above (or in any of the other pictures in this article). It doesn't work. In the digital world, there's a big difference between real text and an image that looks like text--even if it's not always obvious to the user. Fortunately, there are ways to turn either one into the other.

[Email your tech questions to answer@pcworld.com.]

Let's start with turning text into a bitmapped image like a .jpg or .png.

This is extremely simple if you're using Microsoft Word. Select the text you want "photographed," and press CTRL-c to copy it to the clipboard. Open Paint, the free image editor that comes with Windows. Press CTRL-v to paste the text as an image, and save the file. (My thanks to ElfBane for bringing up this trick in the original forum discussion.)

Unfortunately, this trick doesn't work with every word processor. In fact, in my experience, it only works with Word. If you're writing in another program, you can use Windows' Snipping Tool to grab any portion of the screen and save it as an image file.

Or, if your version of Windows pre-dates the Snipping Tool, simply press your keyboard's Print Screen key, then open Paint (or any other image editor) and paste the image. This captures the entire screen, so you'll probably want to crop the image to just show the text.

Going the other way--grabbing text out of an image-- requires optical character recognition (OCR) software. But that doesn't mean it needs a scanner.

If you have Microsoft's OneNote, which comes with recent versions of Office, you've already got OCR software. Copy the image, then paste it into OneNote. Next, right-click the image in OneNote and select Copy Text from Picture. The text, as text, will move to your clipboard, where you can paste it anywhere.

If you don't have OneNote, you can use the Web service Free OCR. You simply upload the image file (maximum size: 2MB), do the Captcha to prove you're human, and click Send file. The text will appear in a frame, from which you can copy it and paste it anywhere.
